Be it known that I, JOHN W. WILLIAMS, a. citizen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State .of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ovens, of which the ollowin is a specification.'

My invention relates to new 4and useful improvements in ovens.

The object of the invention is' to produce an oven of this character in which a. plurality of articles may-be cooked( at one time and one in which the-variousv racks are de' tachable. A

Another object of the invention is to provide al means whereby the same heat which cooks the articles may be utilized for heating water.

A further objectof the invention is to so construct this oven that it will retain the greatest amount of heat possible.-

Finally the object of the invention is 'i to produce a device of this character .which will be strong, durable, light and -eflic-ient and one which will be comparatively inexpensive to produce. y -A With the above and other'objects in view the invention has relation to certain novel features of construction as illust-rated in. the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof,wherein;

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the oven sh0wing the' rack in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of a modified form of my oven, taken on the line B-B of Fig. 4. Fig.' 4 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the top plate and Fig. 6 is a. horizontal sectional view of the device taken on the line A- A of Fig. 3.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference designate similarpparts in each of the figures, the numeral 1 refers to the outer- 'casing which is composed of any suitablel material, such as galvanized sheet iron,'one piece comprising the top and sides of ythe oven. l

The front end member, designated by the numeral 2 has an'opening 3 for the recep tion of a watertank 4. This water tank should be of such size as to fit readily in the arched portion of the oven as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and should reach practically from the front to the rear of this oven. T his tank .is 'suitably supported, as by strips 5 (see Fig. `1). This casing 1 is of double.

thickness and in practice has a packing betwenthe outer` and inner walls designated by the 'numeral 6. I prefer `to use asbestos for-this packing as it withstands a great dealA of heat without deteriorating. In t-he front oi this casing I have provided 'a door 7. This door is provided with'a latch 8 which carries a coil spring 9, so that when the door is closed the latch will be held under a constant tension thereby insuring that the door will be closely held againstthe main casing ofv the oven.

It is to be noted that this oven may taken down by removing the bolts 10 'and the corner strips 11 which are used for reinforcing the oven and also'as a means for retaining the heat at the joints where it would otherwise escape.

It will be noted that immediatel above the burner 12, I have provided a efiector 13, which in contour, .is an inverted'cone so shaped as to distribute the heat and is lined with asbestos `to prevent too sudden changes in temperature thus preventing the food sought to be cooked from being too readily burned, while above this defiector may be placed one or more suitable racks 14.

Figs.. 3,4, 5, and 6 show a modified form of the' Voven wherein the deflector is' oval shaped instead of having the shape of a cone and also wherein the to of the casin car.- ries a water tank 15, w ich is suitab y' secured to the wall 16 and within which water may be placed and heated by the u-nutilized heat. This tank 15 contains separate retce tacles 18, 19, 20 and 21 in 'which the foo s may be cooked and each of which has 'a se arate lid so 'that any odor' .which may.

arise from either receptacle will 'not find its 'way to another.` It will be noted that this modified form is cylindrical and is readily disassembled as by removingxnuts- 22 andl bolts 23 the top and bottom lmay be taken apart and the deflector 24rack 25., and other'- the foregoing specification and the drawto be practical, as Well as simple and inegiings accompanying the same Will be found the tank and projecting above the casing,

separate closures for the receptacles, und :1

pensive to produce. rack Within the casing and between the tank \What I claim is: and 'cleectorl An oven including a casing having a heat In testimony whereof I have signed my receiving opening in the bottom thereof, a name to this specification in the presence Huid 'holding tank in the upper portion of of two subscribing witnesses. the casing and having a valved outlet, a JOHN W.
